Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Archives

Maybe you've had a rough couple of months and fell behind on your credit card payments. Perhaps you had an emergency medical situation, and you can't pay the bill in full. If a creditor has turned over an account in your name to a debt collection agency, you could face borderline harassing behaviors.

Have you been continuously called or bothered by debt collectors? Has a collector told you that you might be arrested if the debt is not paid? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is in place to stop this kind of behavior. The Act requires that debt collectors not only treat people fairly, it also bans specific types of collection methods.

When was the last time you checked your credit report? Many people do not check their credit reports until they are attempt to get financing and find that credit is either denied or offered at less than favorable terms. Credit reporting errors can have significant consequences. Fortunately there is something you can do about it.
